Below is for all mountain counties. GSP has upped it again. My current temp is 15.8. It has been a long time since I have been in the teens the morning of a snow storm.
WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON
TO 7 AM EST SUNDAY...
* WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 5 and
8 inches. Winds gusting as high as 50 mph.
* WHERE...The mountains of North Carolina.
* WHEN...From 4 PM this afternoon to 7 AM EST Sunday.
It's probably blasphemy to say that I would be thrilled with 7 inches and let the ENC fellows have the 24 inches that the GFS shows. There are too many problems that come with 2 feet of snow! I know I am a stranded loner on an island by myself with that opinion, lol!
I mean. Don't get me wrong. I would take it ! But, any decent snow works for me.
Give me 3 inches of snow and I wouldn't complain, based on the last few years. I will take more, but I am not greedy. High ratios will help out even if the moisture is lacking. I am hanging my hat on that!
We are all assholes at point or another, lol. I would happily give it a C. I still have power, and so far all my family does too. No matter what, it's going to be slicker than crap in the morning. We have a good group on here!
It's not common, for sure. 1996 was the one exception that I can think of. Big ice storm with snow on top. I remember the pines popping and the transformers blowing.
